At a press conference held on Friday at Hotel Metsuben, Mokokchung, representatives of NE Health Services and Apollo Hospitals Guwahati said that the initiative is set to bring essential preventive care to those who might otherwise face barriers to accessing medical services.

 

 

Additionally, the initiative will encompass educational campaigns, including Basic Life Support Training for Police personnel, Fire personnel, Assam Rifles, and Paramedics staff of IMDH, and Continuous Medical Education (CME) for doctors.

 

 

Representatives from the partner organizations expressed their enthusiasm and commitment to the cause, emphasizing the importance of community engagement. The organizers stressed that every individual has a right to receive good medical services.

 

 

The free medical camp, scheduled to take place on Saturday at IMDH, will offer a wide range of services to attendees. These will include free health screening by various specialist doctors from Guwahati in Neurosurgery, Cardiology, Gastroenterology, Pediatrics, and Medicine (specialists in Critical Care). They have also pledged their support by providing essential medicines to the patients.

 

 

The press conference also shed light on the services provided by NE Health Services and Apollo Hospitals Guwahati.

 

 

“NE Health Services Pvt. Ltd. is the Northeast’s first one-stop solution for patients, whereby you can avail end-to-end services under our umbrella from your arrival to departure,” said Shyamanga Kashyap, one of the directors of the organization.

 

 

“We aim to ease out the hassles of patients and their families coming to Guwahati and Delhi for medical treatment, ensuring a comfortable pre and post-hospitalization journey,” he added.

 

 

The organization is approved by the Government of Nagaland, Department of Health and Family Welfare. Their services include transportation, food and lodging, doctor’s appointments, report and sample collection, city tours, and many more.

 

 

The organization is helmed by Kashyap and his wife, Akumnaro Imsong, who is a native of the town.
